Disney Here We Come!!!

So this weekend we broke the news to the girls that we are headed to Disney World over Labor Day weekend. We have reservations for a character breakfast with the princesses so the way we told them was they received an "invitation" from Snow White inviting them to breakfast with her princess friends. We then explained to them that she doesn't live in Mansfield so where would we have to go for the breakfast. It took them just a second to blurt out Disney! Let's just say the screaming began there! Maddelyn said "I've been waiting for years for this!" Okay...remember she's 5! They are so excited! I don't think that evening they even took a breath between questions and statements of things they wanted to do! We'll be staying at the Military Resort on property called Shades of Green. It's supposed to be an amazing place and because it's based on your rank....it's cheap too! Always a plus!!!!

Yesterday we went to the Ohio State Fair with my parents and brother's kids. Th girls had a blast! Maddelyn ended up catching 2 fish and Emma one in the kiddie fishing area in the Nature Center. Caroline loved the animals. She is really into animals and babies right now so this was right down one of her alleys! The only bad thing of the day was that by the time we got to the milking parlor where the kids can milk a cow, they had closed up shop for the day. Emma was pretty disappointed because all week she had talked about "pouring milk from the cow." The night before going to the fair we stayed in a hotel and of course swam with all the kids. Maddelyn is my...uh....deathly afraid of water kid. When we got in the pool she was literally climbing my arms with her fingernails because I made her leave the steps to walk around with me in the shallow in. Mind you she had on one of those swimsuits with the life jacket built right into it. It took ALOT of working with her from my mom and I, but by the end of the night she was "swimming" all around the shallow end totally by herself? Yeah...can we say drama queen. Now Emma had the same suit on and she was jumping off the edge into the shallow end totally by herself. A couple of time I actually had to get her to take a time out on the edge of the pool be cause she was swallowing so much water. That little girl is fearless of water! How opposites can they be???
